Spotty Lambed ~ June 5th, 2012!!

On June 5th, 2012 when my mom and one of my little sisters went out to feed the dogs late at night they found Spotty with a white new born ram lamb. Earlier that morning we brought Spotty up from the pasture, because she was VERY swollen and her udder was HUGE . . . even though she was 9 days away from her due date (she was just to ready looking to go out to pasture with the rest of the sheep).

The sire to the lamb is Panda, one of our Finnish Landrace rams and the dam is Spotty, one of our meat breed ewes.

Spot Lambed ~ June 4th, 2012!!

On Monday, June 4th, 2012 around 7:00 to 8:00am I went to check on Spot (I hadn't checked on her for several hours:)). When I went out I looked down by the chicken coop and saw a little lamb so I looked closer and sure enough Spot had twin lambs already out and standing. She had 1 BEAUTIFULLY red spotted EWE lamb and 1 pretty mostly white ram lamb with some red spots on his head and neck (he is marked almost identically like Spot [his mom]).

The sire to the lambs is a red Katahdin ram we use to own, Big Salmon and the dam is a Katahdin ewe of ours, Spot.

Here are some pictures ~

This is the ewe lamb, we plan on keeping her as a breeder.

This is the ram lamb, I don't know if we will be keeping him yet.

Cathy Lambed ~ April 9th, 2012!!

Monday morning, April 9th, 2012 it looked like she was in labor, so I was checking on her fairly often. Then about lunch time I looked at her and she was pushing so I looked closer and she had feet hanging out. I yelled back to mom at the house and told her. We watched and then a bit later she pushed the lamb out. It was a little black and white ram lamb. After she had him we thought that she was only going to have a single, but then a little later she had another lamb. It was also a little black and white ram lamb.


The sire to the lambs is a Painted Desert ram, named Eldorado and the dam to the lambs is one of our Painted Desert ewes, named Little Hills Cathy.


Here is a video of the birth ~
